BRAVERY IN the FIELD IN BuRMAn.

A correspondent writes IA Ian
Ger of the LIST Bombay Regiment, an
Affridi, happened to be late to fall
in with his party in pursuit of some
dacoits. lie luckily hit upon their
track, although the main body of his
party failed to find them. lie was
accompanied by twenty Burman
friendlies. lie found the enemy in
q village. lie boldly surrounded
the village, and, firing one shot,
marched IN. The dacoits bolted,
flinging away their arms, but the
lancer captured eleven of them, and
tried to drive back some cattle they
had looted, but he was obliged to
desist, the jungle being very bad,
and darkness coming on. He re-
turned to Fort Yendaw, looking
grand with his prisoners in front of
him, his lance and pennon and a
Burman knife. The fricndlics are
at best but broken reeds to depend
on, and had this lancer not shown
the bold front he did probably they
would have boltcd also. 1t is
to be hoped that the Bombay lancer
will be rewarded for his brave bear
ing. The above happened near
Fort Yendaw with detachm ent
commanded by Captain M. Rumble,

WONDERFUL RICHARD DONOVAN.
THINGS HE DID AFTER LOSING BOTH
ARMS AT THE SHOULDER.

There recently died at Potsdam,
st. Lawrence County, Richard Dono-
van, who was in some respects one
of the most remarkable men in
northern New York. Twenty years
ago, when a boy, Donovan lived in
this city and worked in flour mill.
One day he was caught in a belt
and received injuries that necessi-
tated taking off both arms at the
shoulders.
This great misfortune did not dis
courage him and after recovering
his health he set about earning his
livelihood as best he could without
the use Of hands or arms. Part OF
the time he had lived alone, and
from the necessity of helping him
self he became wonderfully adept in
performing all kinds of work, using
his feet and mouth principally. He
owned horse, Of which he took the
entire care, harnessed it, fastened
and unfastcned the buckles with his
teeth, and drove with the reins tied
around his shoulders. Being in
need of wagon, he bought wheels
and axles and built box buggy
complete and painted it. He went
to the barn one winter day and
built cow stable, saving the lum-
Der with his feet, and, with the
hammer in one foot and holding the
nail with the other, he nailed the
boards on as we'll as most men could
with their hands. He dug a we'll
twelve feet deep on farm in this
town and stoned 1t himself. He
could NOW away hay by holding the
fork under his chin and letting it
rest against his shoulder. He would
pick up potatoes in the field as fast
as man could dig them. He would
dress himself, get his meals, write
his letters, and, in fact, do almost
anything that any man with two
arms could do. lie was engaged
for some time with Thomas Collins
of Potsdam in the sale of buggies
and sleighs, and has lately been en-
gagged in buying and selling hides
and pelts. BY his industry and
frugality he succeeded in amassing
a snug little property-owned a
house and lot and was worth in all
about SO, 900.

AIDS TO BEAUTY.

Some Remarkable Discoveries Made After
the Shake-up at Nice.
A friend just back from Nice tells me that
from curiosity he went round the hotels to
see what unclaimed properties were lying in
their bureaus. To be able to inspect them
we'll he pretended to have something to
claim. The show of jewelry was small.
When caskets were not carried off in the
fight they were claimed by telegraph. But
aids to beauty and evidences abounded of
how when nature fails art steps in to set tot
tering mouths right, to cover denuded heads,
and to fill out fiattened chests. My friend
had no idea to what extent contrivance had
been pushed in the manufacture of supple
mental busts and hips. Of the former he
was able to bear away few specimens,
which he has dissected, not with the scalpel,
but with the scissors. They are beautifully
elastic, quality derived from the fine wire
springs inside. These springs are set in q
layer of horsehair and have an outer coat
ing of soft and tough silk into which cider
down is quilted. It keeps out of sight and
touch everything harsh and metallic. The
artfully-contrived bust resists the tight tailor
made corsage just like natural roundness
and is sufficiently yielding not to start the
seams. Its effects would take in the most
practiced eye.-London Truth.

FOR FEATHERED PETS.

The Dainty Morsels Which Make songsters'
Throats Unlimber Scarce in Buffalo.
Among the important articles of diet for
soft-billed birds are ant eggs and meal worms,
which are very essential to the nourishment
of feathered songsters in captivity. just now
they are very scarce indeed. In fact, those
who have a supply are pretty sure to be dis
inclined to share with their neighbors, either
for money or as favor. The eggs come
from South America, and are imported by q
firm in New York. They are very light in
weight, and cost seventy-five cents pound.
The worms, in warm weather, can generally
be found in large quantities in or about any
-four mill or meal bin, when mOistened
product has been heated. A gentleman in
search of these delicacies visited prominent
feed and seed store, where they are generally
ssld, and in response to his inquiry the clerk
said: 1--WE have no worms and nary an egg
We had about 100 pounds of eggs stored in
the upper floor of this building. A new man
that we had engaged was directed to clean up
the room. He saw the eggs, wondered why
all that rubbish was allowed to accumulate,
and fired them into an ash box on the side
walk. Maythams carts took them away,
and we are out clean $75."-Bufalo Courier

How . Shabby Man Rebuked . Party Of
Military Dudes.
In leading restaurant in st. Petersburg
six officers of the Imperial Horse Guards sat
recently, it is stated, drinking champagne.
Not far from them sat an insignificant little
man, with shabby coat and an unkempt
beard, and glass of liquor in front of him.
It was not long before he became aware that
he was being ridiculed by the officers afore-
said. By-and-by, as they became more often
sive in their remarks on his personal appear
ance, the cheapness of what he was drinking,
etc., he called for the waiter and said {:
Bring me six bottles of your best cham
payne" The waiter hesitated. "Did you
not hear what I said p asked the little man.
The waiter brought the wine and six glasses.
"Take these glasses away and fetch a basin
-one as large as you can find" The waiter
again hesitafed, but obeyed instantly at the
peremptory repetition Of the order, "a
piece Of SOAP" was the next order. 1t was
brought. "a towel" The waiter handed
him one. 'Now open the bottles" The
waiter did So The little man now filled the
basin with the contents of the six bottles,
rolled up his sleeves, washed himself in the
costly fluid, wiped his hands, laid R1o on the
table, and, casting look of whitening con-
tempt upon the officers, strutted out of the
room.-London Standard.

Beer in the Church Celia

Apropos of the beer stored under ST. Johns
Church, Portsmouth, there is good story told
of one Of the former pastors of the parish.
He was disturbed by the fact that the church
was heated by stoves and asked one Of the
wardens why they did not put in furnace.
The warden replied that they could not on
account of the graves in the cellar. The
pastor, being of an antiquarian turn, took a
lantern one day, and started on tour of in
spection to find 1.-THE graves" Pushing open
with difficulty door in the cellar, he found,
not what he sought, but beer barrels. Re
turning, he looked up the warden, and with
twinkle in the eye he said: "You have a
queer way of burying your dead; you pickle
them, I see."-Douer Nv. H) Times.

the patriotic lady and the House had not

different States, and calling him to
account. While oil this was done in q
thoroughly official manner, twas evident
that the committee were only joking, and
they wanted to get the safe out Of the
way, but had to assume dignified posi-
tion in doing 90. They then tried to de-
wise some scheme of getting rid of 1t, and
finally when the rules came UP clause
was entered that no articles of art or
mdnufdcture should be exhibited in the
Capitol, except that owned by the United
States; this Of course would remove the
safe and it's contents.
SThe architect notified the patriotic lady
that she would have to remove her safe,
as the United States did not intend to
receive It. She refused positively to do
It, and said that she had given 1t to the
United States, and that they would have
to look out for It. At first Speaker Ran
dali and several of her friends objected to
its removal, but when the matter was ex-
planned to them they saw It was impossi-
BILE for It to remain there, and in the
dilemma Architect Clark closed the iron
door of the big safe over the glass portals,
closing 1t forever; then moved the safe to
the east portico, boxed It up, and there it
has remained ever since.
1t is a rather strange thing that Con-
gress did not accept this gift, because it is
most valuable one and will become
more so every year. The lady spent over
$500 alone in postage in collecting photo
graphs, while her express charges were
something enormous. The actual ex-
penses connected with the safe and the
books were $1,000. 1t is said that the
reason Congress did not accept the gift is
because they were afraid the patriotic
lady might come in with big claim some
time for services rendered, and as there
are great many very particular men in
Congress they wanted to save our great
great-grandchildren from any interest
this claim might accumulate in the coming
years. JOHN 8. SHRIvER

A Louisville family were much annoyed
by whistling noise about the house when
lights were extinguished. In time a mouse
trap solved the mystery. When the little
creature was examined his music was found
to be caused by deforpity, the eyes being

made by the animal in forcing air in breath
ing from the lungs through the ears, that be-
ing the only outlet. p.
